Those who understand cables know that the cores of wires and cables are divided into single core and multi-core. For example, Shenghua Cable produces cable products with some core combinations of 3+2 cores and some combinations of 4+1 cores. Although the number of cores is 5, there is a difference between the two. Now let Shenghua Cable explain the meaning and differences between the two.

Before explaining, Shenghua Cable will first explain the difference between wires and cables:
A wire is composed of one or several flexible wires, wrapped with a light and soft protective layer;
A cable is composed of one or several insulated wires, with a tough outer layer made of metal or rubber.
All produced Shenghua cables basically have this structure, and the 3+2 and 4+1 of the cables represent the number of cores in a cable. There are multiple insulated wires in a cable, including 3+2 and 4+1, which are called 3+2 cores, 4+1 cores, etc. Shenghua cables are also produced with 3+2 cores and 4+1 cores.
Take Shenghua Cable as a reference:
3+2-core (Shenghua cable)
Let's first talk about the 3+2 core Shenghua cable, where 3 represents three phase wires, which are generally the same thickness. The two digit 2 represents the neutral wire and PE wire, and one is used to connect to the neutral wire. This wire is slightly smaller than the three phase wires, and one wire is the grounding wire, which is also slightly smaller than the three phase wires. Shenghua cable's 3+2 core cables mostly have this structure.

4+1 core (Shenghua cable)
Among the 4+1 cables, 4 represents three phase wires and one neutral wire, and these 4 are the same width as the diameter of the wire. The other 1 represents the grounding wire, and the 4+1 cores of Shenghua cables mostly have this structure.

The cables produced by Shenghua Cable, whether they are 3+2 cables or 4+1 cables, have basically the same purpose. The only difference is that when using them, you can choose to use 3+2 or 4+1 according to the current size. Generally, buyers of Shenghua Cable will choose 4+1 of Shenghua Cable for lighting power supply, while for power box power supply, they will generally choose 3+2 of Shenghua Cable
